No Brexit alliance - or will Boris change his mind?
Nigel Farage says that he has plenty of money to fight an election with.
He wants a Leave Alliance with Boris and has given him an ultimatum. Two weeks to agree terms - or else!
I am not sure whether Farage really wants this. I am not sure that this would be the best option.
It seems that Boris is not keen on the idea - at the moment.

I am not sure whether Farage really wants this. I am not sure that this would be the best option. It seems that Boris is not keen on the idea - at the moment. If they don't agree a pact whereby the Brexit Party won't contest Tory marginal seats, that will split the vote and could lead to Tory defeats. I don't think Boris has any choice in this, unless he plans to do a 'Theresa May' and sabotage his chances. The Brexit Party might make some gains in the North, but voters are always conservative (note small c!) in general elections and vote for the main parties. They tend to vote for marginal parties where they think it doesn't matter so much, as in the local and EU elections.

There are still some days to go before Nigel Farage makes the final decision. Boris still has time to change his mind.
Farage is reported to have 600 potential candidates waiting to be unleashed!
There is a lot of in-fighting going on...

Lord Buckethead the inter-galactic space lord
He was one of the best comedy candidates last time, when he ran against Theresa May on behalf of the Gremloids Party. Will he run in the Brexmas election? I hope so!

Twisted thinking all round magpiejack I had another look at what you said about Theresa May’s pledge in her 2017 election manifesto to give MPs a free vote about making fox-hunting legal again. I am such a town person that I find the sight of a field full of cauliflowers squatting in the soil very funny indeed! I assumed that if people in rural areas are committed Tories, then this was just a sweetener, a way of rewarding their loyalty. It backfired in that it is said to have made some people vote Labour in protest. So you are saying that this was deliberate - that Theresa May did not want a big majority. Is this deviousness happening this time around? The pacts and alliances, the proposed tactical voting, the resignations and moves to a different party... Is Corbyn deliberately trying to lose the election? Is a hung parliament the aim, so that Brexit gets stalled yet again? I can’t remember anything quite like this ever happening before.

Is Corbyn deliberately trying to lose the election? Is a hung parliament the aim, so that Brexit gets stalled yet again? I can’t remember anything quite like this ever happening before. I see all this as a part of a bigger picture. Let's face it - hunters are still killing foxes on the sly and claiming it was accidental; the courts are often full of well-off magistrates so they are rarely prosecuted. It was a non-issue. I think that the big game plan is chaos in Parliament. We're having a multi-pronged attack on the institutions of Britain (whether you think that's a good idea or not) - the independence of our Parliament and the royal family, and my gut feeling is that those two strands are part of the same plan. I was also across the Channel in 2015, I saw and heard first-hand what was happening with the migrant crisis. I don't believe that it happened randomly and chaotically - it was orchestrated and planned. The people behind the scenes were making millions (possibly billions) through what was essentially people trafficking, and it didn't stop when they reached the shores of Italy and Greece. One bizarre thing to a Brit that I noted when in Italy was seeing prostitutes in pairs in lay-bys on some busy roads in broad daylight; pre-2015 they were mainly European, after then they were mainly African. Whether you think that uncontrolled immigration is a good thing or not, it has certainly changed the face of Europe, polarised the European population and imposed a huge strain on governments' social welfare budgets. Another thing to bear in mind that it is a little-known fact that one of the founding fathers of the EU was an Italian communist, Altiero Spinelli. The EU building in Brussels is named after him but hardly anyone knows who he is. Christopher Booker wrote about him: "The author said in a column for the Daily Telegraph: “We were coyly told that the little island of Ventotene off Naples was where, in 1941, a prisoner of Mussolini’s had written the visionary manifesto that looked forward to building, after the war, a ‘United States of Europe’.” Mr Booker noted, that what somehow got omitted was that Altiero Spinelli was a communist. He explained: “We were not told that Spinelli’s Ventotene Manifesto proposed that his future government of Europe should be quietly assembled by its supporters over many years; and that only when all its pieces were in place would those supporters summon a convention to draw up a ‘Constitution for Europe’, which would finally reveal to the European people just what they had been up to. "What we were also not told – and this is seemingly one of the best-kept secrets of the whole story – is that many years later, when Spinelli was elected as a Communist MEP in 1979, he became the second most influential person, after Jean Monnet, in shaping 'Europe' as we know it today." Mr Booker emphasised that at the time when the integration process had stalled, it was he who persuaded the European Parliament to vote for a "Draft Treaty on the European Union", and it was this, taken up by Jacques Delors, which led directly to the next two major treaties, the Single European Act and Maastricht, transforming the European Community into the European Union, complete with its own currency, foreign policy and much else besides." www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1185863/eu-news-brexit-latest-boris-johnson-no-deal-italy-altiero-spinelli-sptIn other words, they had a grand plan for a Government of Europe and kept it quiet from the people, dressing it up as a trading bloc and hiding their true intentions.

I know that David Icke thinks that Brussels is a sinister place.
I hated the atmosphere around the soulless new EU buildings when I was there.

Farage's pact with the Tories
Farage has announced today that the Brexit Party will not stand against incumbent Conservatives, and will target Labour seats in areas where the majority voted to leave.
It looks as if this is a one-sided pact and that Boris has not initiated it; the DM reported it with the headline 'Farage blinks first'.

Leave Alliance
I am trying to understand the implications of this latest news and what is really behind it.
Perhaps Farage was influenced by Arron Banks’s decision to support BoJo and the Tories as opposed to his fellow Bad Boy of Brexit.
Donald Trump favours a pact too.

Battle of two Davids
David Cameron and David Icke got into an “Oh no there isn’t” “Oh yes there is” war of words a few years ago when Cameron dismissed the idea that there was a conspiracy to keep the UK in the EU. From March 2016: “Speaking in France this afternoon, the Prime Minister compared some of the arguments used by those backing Brexit with conspiracy theories peddled by former professional footballer turned conspiracy theorist David Icke… Mr Cameron said: ‘Of course you can say this is all some giant conspiracy, some sort of David Icke's style sort of you know ... It is just nonsense’. President Hollande backed up his British counterpart by warning that ‘there will be consequences if the UK breaks ties with Brussels. He said: ‘I don't want to scare you, I just want to tell the truth. There will be consequences if Britain leaves the EU’." www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/12181749/EU-referendum-France-issues-Calais-migrant-warning-over-British-EU-referendum-live.htmlNo conspiracy? Here is David Icke’s response from his Twitter:

David Icke’s follow-up
David Icke also made a video on the subject: "’Well, well, well,’ Icke added in a video posted on his blog. ‘Kind of fascinating why [Cameron] felt the need to deny it, and even more fascinating when it's so bloody obvious that that is exactly what's going on.’ Icke called the EU ‘a vehicle for the incessant centralizing of power in the hands of a few dark suit bureaucrats.’ ‘It's a farce, it's a con, and worst of all Mr Cameron, you bloody know it,’ he added.” Dark suits and dark souls!

David Cameron: referendum and resignation
The theory that Cameron agreed to hold the referendum only to keep some constituents quiet and because he was certain of a large Remain majority seems very plausible. He was devastated when it all backfired: “David Cameron held back tears as he stood in front of the cameras on Friday outside Downing Street and, voice cracking with emotion, announced he would be stepping down after six years as Prime Minister. But they started flowing when that famous black door closed behind him and he spoke to his tight-knit circle of close aides and loyal civil servants. ‘It was very emotional,’ said one of those there. ‘Everyone was crying – men and women, even the civil servants. And then David started crying.’” Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3660243/IAN-BIRRELL-Inside-No-10-tears-David-started-crying.html#ixzz4CfFMN6sBPerhaps Cameron cried because he had failed and knew that he would be punished for it!

I still think that 'they' want us to Remain and will do anything and everything they can to ensure that we do. They may hedge their bets, have a Plan B and benefit from investments when there is a development in favour of Brexit, but they are still going to sabotage the Leave side by any means necessary. Boris assured us that we would be out by November 1st. Now it is February 1st. I think that he really is a Remainer. Where is Avacyn 's Ewok Effect when we need it! Nub nub... Boris had no choice. The situation is a mess, and once it became clear onSuper Saturday that all parliament wanted was another extension, it was when they opted to push and trick them into accepting a General Election. This is why the deal kept on being put forwards by Boris, and then yanked away when it loooked like it was remotely threatened. It was to establish a "People Verses parliament" narrative. Which is also the truth. Boris only got the deal, to be able to kill all excuses for leaving from Parliament. He doesn't actually care about it, it it likely was going to be filibustered in the Lords, anyway. and that can still happen, anyway. In terms of the Boris Deal, this video should be of interest. The first part is to do with the Boris Deal itself, and how the changes made to it are in fact significant:

The Dark Lord rises
I can’t keep up with all the political developments nor do I understand the implications. As you say it is a big mess. We need a saviour. I thought that this man - apologies I mean alien - would be the one, but he is a Remainer. He is very amusing though: “Last night at 11:18 pm for the 7th time in 3 decades, Her Majesty the Queen personally activated the Emergency Royal Bucket Signal, summoning the next Lord Buckethead. Shall we pass along her plea in this, the UK's darkest hour?” “MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, I, Lord Bartholomew Buckethead, fmr. Imperial Commander of the Woopian Space Fleet & 2-time “Gremloids” magazine cover as The Sexiest Evil Overlord in the Known Universe, heed your beacon & return posthaste! ANY NEWS YET IF AN ELECTION WILL BE COMING?!” “ATTN “NOT-SO-UNITED” KINGDOM: Exactly as predicted in “The Prophecy of the 7th Incarnation” below, BEHOLD your Govt reduced to rubble by the Dissolution of Parliament! BEHOLD the ashes & rising smoke from over 100 Liars’ pants-on-fire! BEHOLD ME! LORD BUCKETHEAD! I HAVE ARISEN!!!” twitter.com/lordbuckethead?lang=en

The company that Nigel Farage keeps
The Swedish billionaire businessman Johan Eliasch’s ex-wife Amanda appeared recently in the Epstein connections thread. Now there is a connection that is relevant to this thread. Nigel Farage attended a lavish fundraising dinner with ‘right-wing conspiracy theorists’ in June this year. “Farage was at a table with millionaire hotelier John Mappin — who has shared anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and false information about J*e*w*ish financier George Soros — and artist Amanda Eliasch — who said Enoch Powell had been ‘sadly proven right’ in his ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech by the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing and has made anti-Islam comments.’” www.politico.eu/article/nigel-farage-attended-dinner-with-right-wing-conspiracists/Amanda Eliasch “... has shared theories posted by conspiracist David Icke, including one in which he claimed there is a ‘political system orchestrated, created and controlled to this day by the Roths**childs called Zion **ism...’” John Mappin is a Scientologist. He is said to be obsessed with King Arthur, to support QAnon and be a great fan of Donald Trump. He appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book. Could this be why Arron Banks has distanced himself from Farage and the Brexit Party?

Buckethead becomes Binface
Lord Buckethead has changed his name to Count Binface “for copyright reasons”. Binface plans to stand against BoJo in the coming election. There is a possibility that another Buckethead will arise.

Avacyn is this a way of telling the world that there is no point in getting involved as we will be out of the EU at the end of January? It could be a devious way of trying to keep Leavers quiet.

Ten days to go
The pollsters are divided.
Will there be a landslide victory for Boris as some sources predict?
Other sources say that his lead is steadily diminishing and we may end up with a hung parliament.
Maybe Jeremy Corbyn could come back from the dead and surprise us all.
Perhaps it depends on new developments in the coming days.

I haven't kept up with developments but understand that everything is still up for grabs. I am not going to stay up all night to watch the results.
BoJo has been making a fool of himself everywhere.

Like you say UnseenI, everything's up in the air. It's tipping it down here, so that might deter some from voting. I'm not staying up either as I have an early start tomorrow.

A landslide victory for Boris
That is a surprise, it's been a rout of Labour and the Lib Dems. The country has sent a clear message - get on with Brexit.
Scotland has made massive SNP gains - will they force 'Indyref2'?

Brexit in name only now?
What happened to Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party?
He is claiming credit for taking votes away from Labour, but other sources are saying that the Conservative landslide would have been even bigger if there had been no Brexit Party candidates.
He is talking about a new political party.

He is talking about a new political party. He was nowhere to be seen last night; I saw a tweet from a reporter taunting Farage to phone him to talk about the result. If Brexit is delivered as BoJo is promising to do, there is no point to a Brexit party as the aim would be fulfilled, so I wonder along which lines the new party would campaign. I feel proud of the reporting of the Midlands and the North (and also Wales) delivering the landslide, being the offspring of a Midlander and a Northerner. Knowing our nature I'm not surprised that it happened, though the scale of it is astonishing.
